we just completed a 4,122 mile trip in our Class C (Colorado to NY & back) and stayed at 3 different Walmarts in 3 states during that time. We had great experiences but realized there's always a chance for a problem. After deciding not to carry our 357 & 32 in our onboard safe (due to rediculous state by state carry restrictions)... but I brought along a can of bear spray... I figured that would keep the bad guy down until my wife was done kicking him! Good luck to all, travel safe, make reasonably good decisions including a backup plan.

At a Fleetwood MHA Rally safety seminar we recently attended, we were told NEVER to open the door to answer a knock if you don't know (or recognize by peeking out first) who's on the other side. Even if it appears to be a police officer. Every RV is different in what TO open. In our case, we'd open the kitchen window (high up, next to the door).

With the police officer scenario, we were told to ask for the name & badge number & then call the local department to confirm identification.

You might want to watch you could run into trouble with pepper spray (bear spray). A good choice is hornet spray legal in all states and Canada.

Did I call 911... silly me didn't. And the people were getting loud and violent. I was "waiting" for someone else to take care of the situation so that I would not have to deal with it. I was being a coward. Never again. That one episode taught me to forget about the night manager and just call 911. I learned my lesson.

The problem is that the lawyers have taught the public that we are not responsible for our own actions. We can always find some else to blame for our own stupidity and then a lawyer is standing there ready, willing able to sue them.

People need to man-up and accept responsibility for their actions. No one is to blame but you.
